Will mirrors from a 2003 F150 fit an 03' Explorer?

[airforce_guy]

I'm looking at getting some tow mirrors for my 2003 Explorer, and searches for my truck have turned up nothing. I don't tow anything, I want the mirrors solely for looks, and the added visibility would obviously be a plus. The mirrors that come up for a 2003 F150 however, look very similar to the shape of the mirror post for our stock mirrors. Would they be a direct fit? How much modification would I have to do? Has anyone done this before? Please keep negative comments to yourself.

I highly doubt it, and the outside shape is not as important as the alignment of the bolts/holes.

I'm not too worried about that. I'm pretty handy with a drill.

Look into adding the 02-05 Lincoln Aviator or 06-10 Ford Explorer Mirrors. They are larger than yours and will be a direct bolt-on IIRC.
